Milly-ionaire!

Milly NY Clothing is one of my favorite contemporary ready-to-wear brands! I love the girly-chicness that the clothing conveys! Also, Michelle Smith (designer of Milly) seems like a sweet, down-to-earth person, and I respect her for going after what she wanted! In her bio., she had gotten a coveted internship at Hermes in Paris, by personally writing the President of Hermes a letter that she wanted to work for his empire! This ambition led her to gain the experience to become a brand herself and give others the confidence to go forward and achieve what they wanted! As for her current Fall collection, which I would call Gossip-girl chic, or forget the chic, Gossip Girl is ALWAYS chic! This collection was infused with school-girl looks that include both uniform staples, and a few wild cards (neon silk bow-top)! I am starting college next year in chic Dallas, Texas at Southern Methodist University, and I will definitely be donning these looks, so I can be collegiate chic! Here are my favorite looks and with these fabulous ensembles, you will be sure to look like a Milly-ionaire!

the fabulous and talented designer of Milly NY clothing- Michelle Smith!

Carolina Herrera Resort 2011!

The Carolina Herrera Resort 2011 collection gave off a romantic, airy feeling, as well as an effortless chic aspect! I love everything about this collection, which I get to see more of the looks than STYLE.com posted because I intern at Carolina Herrera! I analyzed every Resort 2011 look including every pant, skirt, shirt, sweater, suit, and my favorite, the gowns with my coworkers and my boss, who went to the Resort 2011 collection unveiling! Here are my favorite looks, but it was hard even narrowing them down to a few because there were SO many looks I truly adored!

Internation!

Interning is a great experience for anyone who wants to move up in whatever industry they want to work in! For me, I want to work in the fashion industry, so interning for Carolina Herrera is a great way for me to get familiar with the industry in general, marketing, buying, store-management, consumer relations, and the fashion business in general! Its interesting, in fashion, the consumers only see the finished, beautiful product, but A LOT of work goes into perfecting, editing, and finalizing whatever that product may be! I deeply respect those people that work in this industry because on the outside it may seem glamorous, but it takes a lot of hard work to make it in this industry, which I am determined to do! This coming week is an exciting week! Not only, are the CFDA awards tomorrow night, but my boss is going to market for Carolina Herrera Resort 2011, which is SOOO exciting because the looks have not been put up on Style.com or WWD, so I cannot wait to see her photos of the looks on Wednesday! When the looks are up I will definitely post them on my blog because they are for sure going to be HAUTE!

SWEET CAROLINA!

So, I am so excited and appreciative that I got an internship at Carolina Herrera in Dallas, TX this summer! 
This is the PERFECT internship because I respect and adore Carolina Herrera as a designer and LOVE her clothes, especially the FALL 2010 collection, which I will get to unpack the boxes as an intern (basically will be like opening christmas presents!) And also, I will get to learn the business side of fashion, which is very important! I also am excited about my internship because it is in the city where I will be for the next four years (or more!) when I am attending Southern Methodist University! Now as for my blog, I will blog as much as I can this summer and from now on because I want to give others advice and confidence to go forward and achieve their dreams! People always laughed at me or doubted me when I said that I wanted to work in the fashion industry and move to a big city to achieve those dreams! They did not understand the passion and firey ambition I had to work in this industry that came at a young age! Some kids played house or read books, I constantly played with Barbies, styling them and designing their clothes! I do not feel bashful about what I want to achieve in my life anymore, but I am setting out in my life to achieve my dreams! I do not want to be average and do average things, I want excitement and want to fulfill my passion for fashion and all things in life that are beautiful and bring happiness to people! A quote I live by : "You’re lucky enough to be different, never change" - Taylor Swift. So, all those people who feel like they're not the average person, embrace it because you were given your talents and passions for a reason! And the most important advice I can give is to "Dream, Dream, Dream" because I started with a dream and now my dream is beginning to turn into reality and my journey in the fashion business is just beginning!

A PROJECT RUNWAY FIRST!

As I always say there is a first time for everything, and this week on Project Runway, there some surprise when designer Maya left because she felt that after weeks of grueling challenges that she wasn't ready. I respect her for her decision to admit that she was not mature enough or established as a designer to go to Bryant Park to showcase her collection. Personally, I would never quit because when the going gets tough, you get tough. But, in any case, her leaving allowed one designer to come back, and it was ANTHONY!!! so excited! I absolutely adore Anthony, his sense of humor, and also because he is an Alabama native like me! His statement "You don't have to win the crown, to be the Queen" will live with me forever because that is so true, you don't have to win to hold you head up high and have pride! Anthony went on to win the challenge and Jessica Alba will wear his winning design! Congrats Anthony! and thanks for showing that even when you are knocked off the horse, you can get back up again and win!

Chanel on Ice

Yesterday was the Chanel Fall 2010 RTW collection in Paris that was as "hot as ice" as Britney Spears would say. Karl Lagerfeld is a fashion genious and transformed the set of the runway into an artic scene of icebergs! His reasoning behind this set even though global warming is taking over was that "The Chanel show was an instruction manual for dressing in a cold climate", like places such as Antartica. This effort was charitable indeed because he wants the eskimos to look "haute couture" too! Here are a few of my favorite looks, and especially love the frozen Chanel quilted bag, chicest ice-cube I've ever seen!

Oh, Oscar

I absolutely adore award season, and the Oscars are definitely my favorite award show! I love everything about it, the glitz, the glamour, the fashion, and also the celebration of great talent in the entertainment business! Like the CFDA awards is the award show of fashion, the Oscars is the award show of the acting industry! I loved watching all the fashion today and here are a few of my favorite Oscar looks! Hopefully, Joan Rivers will give these looks a thumbs up tomorrow on the Fashion Police on E!

Anna Kendrick in Ellie Saab

Elizabeth Banks in Versace

Tina Fey in Michael Kors (my favorite) love the one shoulder look!

JACKIE O. DRESSES

Now, I love anything Jackie O. inspired considering she is my style icon! Last season, Fashion designer Lauren Leonard, whose line is called Leona, was inspired by Jackie Kennedy, and I had to have pieces from that collection because in each piece there was a sense of the classy first lady! The brand Black Halo, which is worn by celebs such as Kim Kardashian, designed dresses for their Spring Collection that are Jackie O. inspired! These dresses are called the Jackie O. Mini Dress and are ADORABLE! They're available on shopbop.com and are perfect for a luncheon, tea, or even a spring wedding!

F A S H I O N ' S N I G H T O U T!

Fashion's Night Out is a Global Celebration of Fashion which I love because everyone who appreciates and loves fashion comes to celebrate it and support the Fashion Industry! This year though the celebration will not just be available to those in NY or other cities that celebrate on this night September 10th, but CBS is going to air the special night's coverage on Wed. Sept. 15th at 8 p.m. for a primetime special! So excited, because I might be going to the event this year, but if for some chance I don't I can catch all the excitement on CBS Wed. night, and of course I will be watching it in my Fashion's Night Out 2010 t-shirt! For more information on this fabulous event, check out the website: http://www.fashionsnightout.com/ or follow them on twitter at FNOnyc!

F A S H I O N 4 A Cause

Tragedy is all around else as Mother Nature is wreaking havoc upon Chile, Haiti, and even Hawaii with earthquakes and tsunamis. Now, I know my blog is not necessarily an environmental or current events blog, but these issues are important to me. To help these countries, the Council of Fashion Designers of America or CFDA announced back in February that they designed a t-shirt Fashion for Haiti, which went on sale February 16th. Beyonce is the official spokesperson for this t-shirt that's called Fashion for Haiti and retailers are listed on CFDA's website CFDA.com, so I encourage you to buy one! I just ordered mine, and its really cute! CFDA has not announced a shirt for Chile yet, but there are shirts on Zazzle.com that are fashionable, and for a good cause, so shop away!photo from CocoPerez.com
